The year-long pandemic has exacerbated the growing gap in postsecondary enrollment and completion for students of color, first generation to college students and students from low-income backgrounds. Prior to the pandemic, NCAN was working with 12 NCAN member organizations to address these gaps with the generous support of a Michael & Susan Dell Foundation grant. Over a three-year period, these member organizations set out to expand their student success services in their respective communities, and what we learned was a pretty clear formula for scaling success services. We recently documented the experiences of five organizations expanding their college access programs to support students through college completion and invite you to learn more about the useful strategies and approaches they leaned on to promote postsecondary success for their students during this hour-long webinar panel discussion.
